I'm pretty sure the argument here was that most people would believe someone that is close to them. Someone that they know, someone that they trust.
However that wouldn't, and shouldn't be extended to a stranger without proof. Especially in regards to career damaging allegations and even more so after an independent investigation turned up nothing to substantiate her claims (other than TPW's wife working too closely within the company).

People like you, with your attitude, are doing much to undo all the progress that our society has made. The only one who sounds sexist in this conversation is yourself. Don't poison our communities with your hostility.
“If my friend said his neighbour attacked him, I would believe him without question, too.”
Except when it comes to women and their ability to report sexual related incidents, this is not what we do as a culture, which, whether we acknowledge it or not, is directly related to the “type of crime [and] gender of the victim”.
